I remember buying the Living In Sin vinyl single in 1989 and flipping the disc over to find Love Is War. I always thought it was a great Bon Jovi song.

According to Jon (or was it Richie), it was one of the first songs written after the SWW world tour. Jon was desperate to repeat the success of SWW at any cost, so he kind of re-wrote Bad Name with almost exactly the same chord progressions. (I´m not a musician myself but I understand these songs have the same basic elements.)
